Yocova is an open, neutral digital platform and ecosystem for the aviation industry to collaborate, manage data, and access leading digital services from OEM partners and digital vendors.
Created with the core objective of delivering a collaboration and community platform for aviation whilst underpinning and enabling digital transformation across the industry, Yocova has come a long way since its launch in 2020 – not least through the ever-growing Marketplace capability.
The Marketplace delivers a trusted ‘go-to’ platform where the aviation industry can find, try, buy, and deploy leading digital aviation apps, data API’s solutions and services, or sell and manage your own through a global route-to-market.
The Marketplace comprises storefronts, products, and services from a wide and growing variety of independent vendors (Yocova Partners). The scope of solutions extends across Flight Operations, Maintenance, Safety through to a broader suite of leading digital capabilities and services to enable your digital transformation and business optimisation:
- Software ranging from standard plug-and-play products to highly configurable technologies
- Data API subscriptions that enable customers to accelerate their digital effectiveness, fuel and feed existing and new digital applications, benchmark performance, and more
- Valuable service solutions across a wide range of disciplines
- Tools and techniques to empower digital transformation projects
What are the Marketplace benefits?
Yocova’s Marketplace is designed to enable fast and friction-free connections between buyers and sellers – it’s a liberating environment to enable sellers to showcase their solutions to a global aviation audience, and for buyers to efficiently explore their options and thereafter purchase/contract, implement, deploy and manage their solutions across their Enterprise user community.
For vendors, the Marketplace provides a global promotional platform through which to showcase their products and services. Here, you can augment traditional direct sales activity and extend your reach, targeting specific aviation demographics and organisations.
If you’re looking to make a purchase, you can benefit from a wide range of independent digital aviation vendors all being in one place, meaning you don’t need to endlessly trawl through websites in the hope of finding what you need, nor run a highly fragmented evaluation, costly RFP and procurement process. Simply login to Yocova and access all our partners’ solutions and services.
- For C-Level/ Digital Transformation Leadership – review, evaluate and deploy the leading digital solutions to underpin your digital transformation, business growth and efficiency objectives.
- For Functional leadership/ budget holders – identify and evaluate the latest and leading solutions to deliver against your business and functional objectives, whether this be a new or replacement solution.
- For Procurement – a single go-to marketplace through which to evaluate options and run the full procurement process. Ultimately a single vendor/partner management platform for managing existing/new contracts and solutions across your Enterprise.
- For IT – solution evaluation through to implementation, user assignment and solution administration. Purchased solutions are deployed and accessed via Yocova; your Enterprise user community will access solutions via their ‘My Solutions’ page. Yocova delivers a single command and control platform for you to manage your Enterprise applications and user community with speed and efficiency.
- For Finance – Akin to IT and Procurement, Yocova delivers a consolidated management portal for you to effectively manage and monitor commercial aspects relating to your vendor and partner community, for solutions purchased via Yocova.
Moreover, it’s a great way for anyone in the aviation industry to not only keep up to speed with what’s currently on offer, but also to investigate and consider the latest ideas and innovations from across all corners of the sector, and help you use the latest technologies to your advantage. You might even find solutions to problems you hadn’t realised existed.
